consulate in benghazi, libya. the attackers were muslim protesters apparently angry about an internet film produced in the united states that rid kulz the prophet muhammad. also among the four killed was sean smith, a foreign service information officer. the other two americans have not yet been identified because the state department is still notifying their families. cbs news national security correspondent david martin has been looking into all this at the pentagon. david? >> scott, good morning. u.s. officials do not believe these killings were the work of that mob that was demonstrating at the u.s. consulate. u.s. officials believe that within that mob, there were heavily armed militants who were, if you will, using the demonstration as a cover to get into that consulate and then take as much revenge as they could on americans. now, whether they were seeking revenge for this anti-muslim video or whether they were simply trying to kill americans on the anniversary of 9/11 is still unclear. >> david, thank you.

embassy in benghazi? >>reporter: these are conversations i have had with people familiar with intelligence. this area, libya, north africa, was considered a hot zone or a hot region. since june of this year there were at least four incidents, either successful or plots, against diplomatic interests or on diplomatic personnel. so it was considered a hot region, active. now, when they say there was no "actionable intelligence," that means that there wasn't something specific enough in the opinion of the intelligence community to do something, to try and mitigate the threat. that's the subject or where the rubber meets the road. was there sufficient intelligence in the region, that it was "hot," and that there were attacks or attempted attacks on diplomatic personnel that more steps should have been taken to protect the americans who were killed in benghazi? that is the question. >>trace: thank you, catherine. and now, intelligence expert, a former c.i.a. convert officer and president of the global intellige

behind-the-scenes an fbi team is preparing to fly to benghazi to investigate the attack. the compound behind these walls is the major crime scene but any evidence left inside will have been badly contaminated by looters and curious local people who flooded in after the attack. here's what eyewitnesss, officials and libyan commanders in charge that night have told us. sometime around 9:30 p.m. about 70 armed men attacked the consulate's main gates with guns and heavy weapons. they then stormed in, overwhelming local and american security. with all four buildings on fire the libyan government ordered a local militia to the rescue. that militia helped to ferry 31 americans and the body of sean smith out the back gate in armored cars to a house a mile away rented by the u.s. government. shortly afterwards it too came under fierce attack. what we still don't know is how back at the compound ambassador stevens got separated from his security detail only to be found dead or dying just after midnight by the crowd. suspicions for the attack have focused on a powerful islamic milit
